It is important to understand how to access your router if you want to:
  • Change WiFi or admin passwords
  • Switch VPN server locations
  • Attempt custom setups
  • Troubleshoot your network

We recommend using a Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox incognito/private browsing window to access the FlashRouter firmware settings. You can access the main DD-WRT firmware GUI or you can go directly into the FlashRouters Privacy App settings to manage your basic router settings and VPN connection settings right away.

Please note, after accessing the FlashRouter Settings at the Local IP Address, you will be prompted to enter an admin username and password. You can find this information in the subsections below.

DD-WRT - Firmware GUI

Local IP Address: 192.168.11.1

Password: ddwrt

Keep in mind that if you enable HTTPS and disable HTTP access you will need to add https:// in front of the Local IP Address to access your FlashRouter’s firmware settings.

If your router has been reset for any reason then you can access the router at a local IP address of 192.168.1.1.

Please note you will be required to set the administration username and password as well as your WiFi and VPN network settings after a reset.

Teamviewer FAQ and Setup

TeamFlashRouters · May 30, 2019 ·

We do NOT offer phone support here at FlashRouters. You will not receive a phone call to begin your session. Please read the information below for how to get connected during your session time.

What is a Teamviewer session?

A Teamviewer session is the most hands on method of receiving support from FlashRouters.

A support agent will connect directly to your computer and proceed to configure or troubleshoot your FlashRouter with you present.

We use Teamviewer sessions to troubleshoot any issue an eligible customer may have with a FlashRouter that was purchased from us or to configure a compatible router that your purchased independently along with a FlashRouters Support Plan.

In the session a chat window will appear so we can communicate directly with you in real time.

If you follow the information below prior to your session and all goes smoothly a Teamviewer session typically takes anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.

Do I qualify for a Teamviewer session?

When purchasing a FlashRouter you are able to select a Quarterly or Yearly Bronze, Silver or Gold subscription plan.

Silver Yearly plan comes with one Teamviewer remote support session a year.

Gold Quarterly and Yearly plans come with one session per quarter.

If you support plan has expired or you are signed up for Bronze and you’d like to receive Teamviewer remote support assistance please email support@flashrouters.com

How do I schedule a Teamviewer session?

We are available for scheduled Teamviewer sessions from 10AM – 6:00PM ET Monday through Saturday.

Recommended computer and network setup

What computer should I use for Teamviewer?

Teamviewer sessions can not be performed on phones or tablets at this time. We require a Windows or Mac computer to successfully connect and configure your FlashRouter.

Below are the different scenarios from most ideal to least ideal.

If you have an available wireless network NOT coming from the FlashRouter and have a computer that has wireless only you should be setup as follows:

  1. Obtaining a USB to Ethernet adapter is ideal.
  2. If that is not possible connect to the FlashRouter’s network via wireless.

Session disconnects may occur with no backup Internet connection.

I have a Single Router Setup and a computer with WiFi and Ethernet

If the FlashRouter is your only wireless network and your computer has wireless and Ethernet capabilities you should be setup as follows:

  1. Connect an Ethernet cable from a numbered port on your FlashRouter directly to your computer.
  2. We may ask you during the session if your smartphone can broadcast an wireless hotspot we can connect to for backup Internet.

Wireless Guest Network Setup – Bridged (Advanced)

TeamFlashRouters · Jun 12, 2019 ·

If you would like to prevent visitors from connecting to your main WiFi network then you can create a Bridged Guest Network that will prevent access to the main router. This setup also allows you to create different rules for different WiFi SSID’s in your home ranging from QoS controls, access restrictions, VPN network segmentation, and more.

Preparing for Wireless Guest Network Setup

If you have a Dual-band or Tri-Band router you can setup a WiFi Guest Network, creating a separate VLAN (virtual local area network) for your visitors, or in order to segment your VPN networks on any band you like. We recommend using the 2.4GHz network for your DD-WRT Guest Wireless Network so it is compatible with the most possible WiFi devices. Setting up a guest network for visitors in your home allows you to keep them off of your main WiFi network.

We recommend performing this setup while connected to the FlashRouter via ethernet cable. If your computer does not have an ethernet port and you must proceed via wireless connection to the FlashRouter pay attention to the wireless connection as you may need to rejoin the FlashRouter’s network after making changes.

DD-WRT Router Setup for Wireless Guest Network

Enter Wireless settings

Navigate to Wireless > Basic Settings

Bridged Wireless Guest Network Setup on DD-WRT FlashRouter – Setting SSID for Guest Network
  1. Under the 2.4GHz or 5GHz Interface click the Add button.
  2. In the Wireless Network Name (SSID) field enter the unique network name of the guest network.
  3. Click Save.

Enter Wireless Security settings

Navigate to Wireless > Wireless Security

Bridged Wireless Guest Network Setup on DD-WRT FlashRouter – Setting Guest Network Wireless Password
  1. Duplicate the wireless security settings that are set for the other bands for the newly created virtual interface.
  2. Click Apply Settings.
  3. Reboot your router.

Create Bridge

Navigate to Setup > Networking

Bridged Wireless Guest Network Setup on DD-WRT FlashRouter – Create Bridge
  1. Under Create Bridge click Add. Name the newly created bridge br1.
  2. Click Apply Settings

Assign to Bridge

Bridged Wireless Guest Network Setup on DD-WRT FlashRouter – Assign Bridge
  1. Under Assign to Bridge select br1 from the Assignment dropdown. Select wl1.1 or ath1.1 depending on your router model.
  2. Click Apply Settings.

Depending on the router model and WiFi band you are using, the wireless interfaces will be labelled differently.

This setting can be labelled wl1.1, ath0.1, wl2.1, and so on. Make sure when you get up to the bridge assignment section that you are using the correct guest network Virtual Interface.

Network Configuration br1

Bridged Wireless Guest Network Setup on DD-WRT FlashRouter – Configure Bridge DNS Redirection
  1. Under Network Configuration br1 select Enable for Forced DNS Redirection.
  2. Set Optional DNS Target to 208.67.220.220
  3. Set IP Address to 192.168.12.1
  4. Set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0
  5. Click Apply Settings.

Multiple DHCP Server

Bridged Wireless Guest Network Setup on DD-WRT FlashRouter – Configure DHCP Server Settings
  1. Under Multiple DHCP Server click Add.
  2. Set the first dropdown to br1.
  3. Click Apply Settings.
  4. Reboot your router.

Firewall Rules

Navigate to Administration > Commands

  1. Copy the fire script from below and paste into the empty Commands shell
  2. Click Save Firewall.
  3. Wait one minute and then reboot your router.

iptables -I FORWARD -i br1 -o br0 -m state –state NEW -j DROP
iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o br1 -m state –state NEW -j DROP
iptables -I INPUT -i br1 -p tcp –dport telnet -j REJECT –reject-with tcp-reset
iptables -I INPUT -i br1 -p tcp –dport ssh -j REJECT –reject-with tcp-reset
iptables -I INPUT -i br1 -p tcp –dport www -j REJECT –reject-with tcp-reset
iptables -I INPUT -i br1 -p tcp –dport https -j REJECT –reject-with tcp-reset

You will now have a working Bridged Guest Network on the FlashRouter. By inputting the firewall rules, this will also prevent any guests on your network from gaining access to your router settings.

Back up your settings

Navigate to Administration > Backup

  1. Click the Backup button.
  2. A file named nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer.
  3. You can load nvrambak.bin to restore your settings in the event of a reset.
